exsilium | 1st Mantra

[Gale takes a hold of his communication device as soon as the woman who greeted him is gone and scrolls through the "Introduction" app quickly before bringing up a video stream. His face is as emotionless as ever, but his voice is terse.]

My assumption is that this video is streaming to other devices of this kind.

My name is Gale, of Tribe Embryon.

I was given an adequate explanation as to why I am here. However, I was not given an explanation as to the cause of my being here, and I request information from others who may know. In all of these documents left on this device there is no file or volume detailing the how.

[The foggy memories of his comrades and their final battle aren't new to him. He only wonders why his body hasn't changed this time. Same clothes, same face. He can even feel the Atma Virus still running through his veins.]

This situation is neither uncommon nor strange to me, it is simply the means that remains illogical.

[And, perhaps as an afterthought;]

If there are any of Tribe Embryon present here, ...please respond promptly.

[oh sonofa-]

Took you damn well long enough, dumbass, where the hell were you? [GOD, HEAT IS SO MAD RIGHT NOW because he doesn't understand the swell of relief that seeing a familiar face brings]

And good luck asking people now how the hell we got here. They weren't exactly good on details before and they've gotten worse now.

Technology is far superior than what many other worlds posses, so bringing people over time and space doesn't seem to be as difficult as it might sound for the Initiative.

Is "incredibly sophisticated technology" an answer? Probably not, but that's pretty much it. Welcome to Exsilium, where we kidnap people from around various dimensions 'n resurrect the recently dead.

Oh, but who really cares for the how? It's not liable to change much, knowing.

[His eyebrow raises incredulously on the video screen. Of all the people he could be talking to, really?]

I would assume by your presence that we have all been brought here? I do not comprehend your question, we were together just hours ago.

[Gale assumes it was hours, it feels that way, but he could be wrong.]

[Not that he'd admit that.]

Explain.

I would like to see this superior technology, then.

I cannot accept this as fact until I can inspect it myself.

Various dimensions. I assume you mean alternate artificial worlds?

Compiling information and accessing it is the best means of survival. Ignorance and temper will get you killed.

You can find the transporter in its designated room down in Earth. The moon base's existence and the means to go down are as good as any initial proof though.

I have been on the sun, traveling to the moon is not impressive to me.

And certainly it's refreshing not to see yet another temper tantrum from a newcomer. But nonetheless, you needn't be that concerned for the technology of it all — it works, what else matters?

Then go to Earth and see the transporter.

If it works, it can also break. It can be taken apart, studied.

A carefree attitude is not helpful.

You would assume that. But no, it's just me here, because Serph decided to cut me open.

[he just died Gale, because disparate canon points are the best?]

How the hell would I know? The Initiative's methods are kinda random when it comes to pulling people in.

It's always helped me rather a lot.

But that aside, if it breaks, will you be the one to fix it for us? What a hero!

It would be ill advised to do that without a solid plan.

Tell me the reason the... Initiative is on the moon.

[He makes a note of the differences, but doesn't question it. At least, not for now. After all, Serph did stab Heat. Maybe he doesn't remember the Sun.]

Nothing is random, there is a pattern you've yet to see, I'm sure.

That was not something I implied.

[His brows furrow.]

Are you someone who only cares about themselves?

An excellent question. Do you think so already, so soon?

Is my assumption correct?

Oh, come, what's the fun if I simply tell you, hmm? You seem an attractive and intelligent man, I'm quite sure you'll be able to work it out on your own, if you feel so inclined.

[there's a huff] Yeah, you would say that.

[Gale's probably going to bother him for information though, so he might as well. Karma Society didn't exist here and Embryon needed to stick together. ~~even though Heat betrayed them WITH SERA'S WELLBEING IN MIND but fuck that's just making his chest hurt~~]

From what I've seen there are humans, non-humans and everything in between here. Demons as well. Some of these idiots are more afraid of themselves or unsettling humans than anything else. There are kids here, adults, people who don't age, some crazy assholes who are super friendly with demon-types.

... Also time travel, because that's a good idea.

Does it really matter at this point?

[Gale is definitely thinking about the betrayal, but he's also thinking how stupid it would be to scorn and ignore the only person he recognizes. That, and Heat is Heat, and he never seems to actually do anything that awful... it's just his nature to be stupid and angry all the time. Gale may be his opposite but... he sort of understands.]

The demons and humans coexist without conflict? Tell me more about this place.

[So many demands.]

As for time travel ...That sounds both dangerous and incredibly stupid.

[His head tips to the side on screen, and one eyebrow quirks in irritation.]

I do not feel inclined to play any sort of "game" with you.
